Stack smashing protection mechanisms refer to security measures implemented in computer systems to detect and prevent stack-based buffer overflows. These mechanisms aim to safeguard against the exploitation of vulnerabilities that can lead to arbitrary code execution, by monitoring and detecting any attempt to overflow the stack memory.
